New submission from Neil Webber <nw at neilwebber.com>:
The math module documentation says:
Except when explicitly noted otherwise, all return values are floats.
But this code returns an integer:
from math import prod; prod((1,2,3))
Doc should "explicitly note otherwise" here, I imagine. The issue being wanting to know that the result on all-integer input will be an exact (integer) value not a floating value.
